最近的人类学理论越来越关注权力问题。人类学对文化知识的变化也有着悠久的兴趣，我们认为，这得益于对权力关系的关注。为了证明这一点，我们调查了医生对乳腺癌危险因素的认识。尽管医生们对乳腺癌危险因素有一个通用的文化模型，但存在差异，特别是在大学医生和社区医生之间。在这两种情况下进行的工作的性质影响着各种信息来源的获取和被认为是有效信息的框架。与福柯的论点类似，我们发现，与远离知识和权力中心（大学）的社区医生相比，在大学环境中工作的医生在讨论他们对乳腺癌风险因素的看法时更加自律。
Recent theory in anthropology has increasingly been concerned with issues of power. Anthropology also has a long history of interest in variation in cultural knowledge, which, we argue, benefits from attention to power relations. To show this, we examine perceptions of breast cancer risk factors among physicians. Although physicians share a general cultural model of breast cancer risk factors, variation exists, especially between university‐based physicians and community‐based physicians. The nature of the work performed in these two settings influences the acquisition of various sources of information and frames what is considered valid information. Similar to Foucault's argument, we find that physicians working in a university setting are more disciplined in discussing their perceptions of breast cancer risk factors, compared to community‐based physicians, who move away from the centers of knowledge and power (universities).
